Siri Brazilian
Jiu-Jitsu Pasco

About Us:

Siri Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Pasco takes great pride in its affiliation with Gustavo Siri Pires, a highly respected fifth-degree black belt in the Carlos Gracie Junior lineage. Our name, “Siri,” derives from the Portuguese word for crab, symbolizing our deep connection to our Brazilian origins and honoring Gustavo’s remarkable journey. In his early days of training in Rio de Janeiro, Gustavo was affectionately known as “The Little Crab,” while his older brother held the title of “The Crab.” As Gustavo’s skills and dedication intensified over time, he rightfully claimed the distinguished moniker of “The Crab” himself. Thus, the name Siri serves as both a meaningful tribute to our Brazilian heritage and a testament to Gustavo’s profound impact on our academy.

Our History:

Siri Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was founded in 2017 by Gustavo and Katlynn Pires when they relocated to Kennewick. Since then, Gustavo’s presence in Kennewick has made an everlasting impact on the Jiu-Jitsu community not only in the Tri Cities but throughout eastern Washington and the Pacific Northwest. Siri HQ in Kennewick has flourished into a thriving academy with a diverse community of hundreds of students, and it has also become the hub for several affiliate academies. Sargent Bjj Walla, Imperial Jitz in Ephrata WA, Copper Head Jiu-Jitsu in Pendleton/La Grande, and the latest addition, Siri Bjj Pasco, all reflect the same exceptional atmosphere and culture established by Professor Gustavo and our HQ location. At Siri Bjj Pasco, we are excited to bring forth the same level of excellence, camaraderie, and passion for Jiu-Jitsu that Gustavo and Katlynn Pires have instilled in the Siri name. Together, we are committed to fostering a thriving Jiu-Jitsu community in Pasco, where students can experience the transformative power of this incredible martial art.
